AI Technical Summary
Existing food technologies have yet to address the challenges of producing plant-based proteins that are tasty, clean label, healthy, and have the right texture, while avoiding the use of hydrocolloids and their derivatives such as methyl cellulose and its derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), which alter the gut microbiome and result in chronic inflammatory conditions.
A composition comprising a plant-derived polypeptides, and at least one enzyme selected from an oxidoreductases, a crosslinking enzyme, a crosslinking enzyme, a hydrolase, and any combination thereof, which mimics the functionality of hydrocolloids by forming stable hydrogels, emulsions, and foams, thereby replacing hydrocolloids in the food industry.
The efficacy of the efficacy of the composition comprising a plant-derived composition comprising a plant-derived polypeptides, and at least one enzyme selected from an oxidoreductases, a crosslinking enzyme, a hydrolase, and any combination thereof, which mimics the functionality of hydrocolloids by forming stable hydrogels, emulsions, and foams, thereby replacing hydrocolloids in the food industry.
